Hey guys, I wanted to let you know that I am making monthly zombie survival games.
Each month a new feature will be added, and each month a CUSTOM MADE\ANIMATED GUN, unique to either me or me and one other person will be used for the games!

Features


***each month the subscribers will get a new lag-free ZS game!
***each month will be a new gun
***each month will be a new zombie
***each month will be a new feature, such as a new HUD, bloom, etc.

You can subscribe for ONLY $10.00 a year! thats less than a dollar for an infinite zombie game each month!


To Subscribe please go Here
Here are two pics from January 2010's ZS game, The Village.

this is actually a very good idea! a subscription style price. tell me what the game play is: do they just spawn unlimitedly, or is there a story?

Good idea, but are you shure that you can make games in such pase without dameging the epicness of a game?
I think you would be better of putting real hard work into a game, and selling that for 50 dollars a piece. Does anyone know about any FPSC game thats ever gone to steam? Thats where i would sell my game You seroisly need huds. (instead of the boring stock one)

Advertisment is important, make a trailer on youtube post it as a video response to other big games. (Most likly L4D and WaW)
Try contacting some local internett web sites, that can review your game.

Maybe you should get kraven into this he has some amazing skills when it comes about zombies...

The L4D2 arm is awesome! How ever i dont like the texture on your gun try making it a little brighter.

That was a ton different, that was a big major project, these are just simple, fun games
I already have all of Januaries and most of februaries games done
So no need to be worried or be enemies, right?


{edit} and storyteller, I completed a gigantic level for Mind Trix, and won 2nd place, so I can complete games

Guys, I cant use this gun for the project, because I found out that egg head of doom did NOT make it, and the site says that it can be used for non-commercial only.
So I'll just have to use errants guns for december game

Meh... after 7 months, you could've just bought L4D2... The new gun/new zombies sounds good, but you're already using Bond1's zombies (not to mention the same ones), so wouldn't yourslook a little... uh... odd?

The concept is nice though, and it's a good way of making money but I'm not totally into this. Just some constructive critisicm.

Edit: lol, we posted at the same time

Hi General Jackson

What if you decide not to complete this for the full year will people get their money back?

I do understand were The Storyteller 01 is coming from. As the presentation for this offer is not very professional even if it is only for a $10 year subscription. Your asking for people’s money which is the reason it is important. It does not install confidence in that you would finish this at all.

This is all a matter of opinion, but I hope this works out for you.

Well, I'm not a professional game creator. If I was I wouldnt be using FPSC
Storyteller has been attacking me for awhile because I didnt finish a HUGE game project I had planned, that is the only reason.

MD:Glad you like the idea, and sure, I will make a free ZS game

{edit} DH: You can subscribe as long as you want
However I doubt I'll be doing this in fifty years

You are familiar with the phrase "people that live in glass houses should not throw stones"? Not exactly a nice comment to make about FPSC, especially on their forum board.

You can't go around expecting support on a project, then make shots at your support's support.

My suggestion to general jackson.

You should make all 12 levels before you start this then send 1 each month (you might be doing that already) but it's a fool proof system.

Anyways I'm going to try the demo one today and if it's good I might consider subscribing.

that demo was good, but not enough zombies. maybe more spawns, there shouldn't be anywhere you wont get the zombies attention, that way you can't snipe them. I just used my gun like a lwanmower the whole time, I only died once ecept for whn I fell through the ground, and I played for an hour or so. and I was wondering what mod you where using also.

@General Jackson, whatever launch program you're using I can't get it to work. When I try to launch the game it either says that it can't find the zip folder, or brings up an error message and closes.

About an hour for each game? I remember you criticizing someone once for a game you claimed to be made in a short time period and how they shouldn't sell it. How is this different? How will subsribers be ensured that each map is of good quality and had lots of effort put in so that they can enjoy it if it was only built in about an hour?

Understand that I am not attacking you but simply pointing out something you might want to change to get more sales.

I consider the people who made Call of Duty good map designers and certainly not even individual levels of their games were made in an hour. The same applies to Kravenwolf, Wolf, and many others.

And not to insult or anything but there were 4-5? people who joined the competition and the only legit "experienced" FPSC user in it was SamHH. Experienced as in hes been part of the forums since 2006 meaning he has used FPSC for 3-4 years or longer.

Don't want to start an argument or anything but I just find your idea flawed in more ways than one. However I wish you luck with it.

Although a lot of people originally signed up for the competition, only 5 valid entries were produced. I have great respect for those people who commited to a project and followed through with it - and one of those people was General Jackson. The number of people entering the competition has nothing to do with the quality of the entries submitted - take a look at both the Wooded Grotto and The Mansion - two excellent entries. General Jackson, good luck with this endeavour, I'll be keeping close track of it

So much for that, samHH was not even a runner up (no offense at ALL towards Samhh, he has many many talents)

Yep, I dont feel like seeing you start one either
$10.00 for 12 games I think is a PERFECTLY reasonable price.
BTW here is a preview of Februaries game

Thank you, thank you, you're too kind

jk, but seriously General Jackson you need to present yourself and your project with more professionalism and maturity. The minute you act like a mature professional is the minute people start treating you like one.

As far as the time for each game goes, I have to agree with DP here. An hour isn't much time to put alot of thought into a map, no matter what program your using. The best maps for Far Cry 2 are creating in 17 or more. Any that aren't usually aren't fun or balanced for the gameplay. For CoD, the program they use is extremely different from FPSC's, and is more expandable. But GJ is right when he says they have a team. Even still, I'm sure if they were working on a game with FPSC they would take way more than an hour. As for FPSC, how long did your entry take you for Mind Trix? I'm sure it was much more than an hour. Mine took at least 3 and a half all combined, probably more. I'm sure that all the other entries were made in more than an hour. Put work into these to make the best experience and people will subscribe and enjoy them, don't put work into your levels and games and you'll lose a majority of your subscribers.

I, for one, won't subscribe until I'm sure about the quality and you get some reviews about your first month's game. Good luck with this.

Well if everyone acts like you no-one will ever know, will they?
If a mod could clean out all posts like DP's from this thread, I would greatly appreciate it.
THIS THREAD IS NOT FOR SAYING HOW PROFESSIONAL OR MATURE I AM.
It is for showing screenshots of next months ZS, for subscribers to talk about what they like and dont like, and stuff like that.
I AM putting alot of work into these, custom guns and custom characters\character reskins for each game.

I don't think that anyone is criticizing your idea. I believe they are trying to help you make this succeed by helping with the approach you use. One moment you are saying you have this great idea or project, then the next post is picking apart FPSC, or the next one is making other comments towards others, like this:

Quote: "Well, I'm not a professional game creator. If I was I wouldnt be using FPSC"


Or

Quote: "So much for that, samHH was not even a runner up (no offense at ALL towards Samhh, he has many many talents)"


Or

Quote: "Well if everyone acts like you no-one will ever know, will they?"


I believe you have a great idea here. I have great ideas too, but the one thing I've learned is to "listen" to what others have to say or suggest, and you have to learn to "filter" out what you don't need and use what is good solid advice. Also helps to not take everything too personal. You keep at it. You have a solid idea, but I really feel that some are trying to offer some sound advice to make it succeed. Your reactions demonstrate both how serious and professional you are. Professionalism enters in the moment you decide to charge, because those that pay are customers, and we have to be professional towards them or risk losing them.

Hopefully you understand what I am trying to say. If not, then by all means ask a mod to "remove" my post.

Cheers

@General: Sorry if you took my post as a personal attack. I was simply suggesting some things that might attract more subscribers to your idea. It sounds great, but the reason I'm cautious to subscribe is the same with many games now. I don't buy until I get a review. I'm sure your series will be fun, and I might subscribe myself. Once again, Good Luck.

General you take EVERYTHING as a personal attack tbh, you get worked up about everything and then say you should talk about game instead when you've argued with everyone, don't react! Take in their comments and criticism then take it on board, but any personal attacks, just ignore, it's not worth it to argue.

Being professional and mature is 90% of presenting your game, it speaks volumes about the creator and the quality of the game. Imagine if Valve came on saying "Hey guys, this is Half-Life, it has zombies and awesome A.I. and each level took a lots of time to make! But don't mind me just buy the game!" I don't think it would've got it's recognition and been declared one of the best games ever made.

The way you've presented your game doesn't speak well for it, each level made in an hour and you've already done half of them, you need a better marketing strategy. Make it a website completely on it's own, have videos, pictures and descriptions of the game, don't tell people the time that was taken to make it or anything about the creation of the game really, the new weapons every week is a good idea, be sure to include that. Then for a month or so release it for free, then people can decide whether they wish to continue buying or not, also be sure to make each one unique, not just the same game with different scenery every month. Maybe some Nazi zombie style, some escape style, stuff like that, but mix it up more for a more varied and enjoyable experience.

Also make sure to POLISH your game, it's where many FPS Creator games fall down. Take some time to make individual loading screens and menus for each game, again it's all about presentation.

And finally if you can offer the option for users to cancel their subscription at any time, so they don't feel trapped by your deal.

P.S I'm not trying to attack you or say your a rubbish game creator, you have potential and resolve, just take some time for presentation.

Good Luck

THIS IS NOT a WIP thread, or a c&c-from-people-who-havent-even-tried-it thread.
